I was just about to post this, my wife told me earlier, very sad.

My friend, Jason, had the occasion to meet her last year. She saw him and said, "I love your jacket!" He clumsily responded, "Oh... thank you! I like yours too!" and then slapped himself on the forehead. She just laughed and they had a nice little exchange.

I've read nothing but sweet, sweet things about her in remembrance. That makes me smile.

Yeah, it was good to see her get her own spin off series (as long as it was in coming), if anyone deserved it, she did.

I grew up watching her on TV, this makes me so sad. :( I was ecstatic when I saw her appear on Doctor Who in season 2.

I know... she really was sort of the companion that set the mould for the modern female companions. I'm still so saddened by her death even today.:cry:
